A man, fished out of the Mediterranean sea, awakens from a coma-like state, only to find out he has been shot several times and cannot recall his past. His only clues are a piece of microfilm implanted in his body, a Swiss bank account with several million dollars and the name Jason Bourne, which may or may not be his own. He soon finds himself the target of an international terrorist and the only person who may hold the answers to Jason Bourne's true identity is Marie, a woman who knows his mysterious past.
